While Netflix hasn't officially renewed the series for season 2 yet, it is highly unlikely that it will be canceled, given its huge success.

The series was first announced back in 2019 and it took about two years before it aired. With that timeline, we are expecting the second season to be ready by early 2023.

Creator Hwang told Variety that he has no solid plans for the second season yet:
"I don't have well developed plans for Squid Game 2. It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I'd consider using a writers' room and would want multiple experienced directors."
